Hah!
Delightful, June!
And these fluffy bundles do look as if they are in the mix of pandemonium! They think they are crows, eh? Even better!
Loved your presentation!

Thank you for sharing!

What unique names for a group of pandas! Where in the world did they come up with "embarrassment" and "cupboard."
I love your 4-8-5. It's creative, educational, and as cute as can be. I don't give out many sixes to short poems, but I am this time. Best of luck in the Haiku club contest.

Embarrassment of Pandas
by June Sargent

hahahaha.... an embarrassment of pandas is the best group name I read so far... so cute... good choice.

I never end a line with a preposition. I would change it like this...

an embarrassment
of pandas think they are crows -
pandemonium

good syllables count and connection between lines. pandemonium is a great satori line.

You had me at embarrassment of pandas. But the entire write is a hoot. I live near DC. Fingers crossed when conditions allow I'll be able to see the ones in the zoo.

Stay safe healthy and blessed

June,

You created a great and funny idea of combining the crows and pandas. Your last line is perfect! You chose the best collective word of the three possibilities for your illustration and verse.

In my view, portrait or landscape, it appears that there is a return inserted between your last two lines - intended or not?

Mark

P.S. There are many good entries for Gypsy's Haiku writing club. Some of the collectives I know. I had posted one a while ago about a rhumba of rattlesnakes.

    I would love to see a rhumba of snakes - with music in the background. lol Thank you for sharing your insights and for the generous rating! It was a fun challenge. And I did like the embarrassment of pandas - play on words with pandemonium.

This is too cute. I didn't know the group name for pandas was embarrassment, but I like it. They seem enormously cute to me, and your contribution to the club is a hoot.

A most delightful read today. :))

    So glad you got a kick out of this piece! I think pandas have way too much fun to ever feel embarrassed. I love these little clowns!

What a precious picture, June. I enjoyed reading your haiku for the club. Great satori. I believe you are missing the connecting verb between lines 1 & 2. In your notes you could explain that embarrassment means a group of pandas.

an embarrassment
of pandas think they are crows - [lacks the wings of crows to fly]
pandemonium

Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
